Tho failure Of the Fisheries Commission
seems TO be generally conceded in Washington.
Mr.. Bayard and Mr. Chamberlain were very
anxious to make n treaty and were prepared
to accept any basis Of compromise. The Sec
rotary Of State had been 50 unsuccessful in the
administration Of his Department that he was
bent upon retrieving his reputation by con-
cludinc an enduring treaty Of peace with Eng

alous political relations at home, was ready
for a great stroke Of diplomacy which would
restore his popularity and influence. II these
two statesmen have not negotiated treaty. II

THO " FSS.iGES.

Mr.. Blaine is a private citizen, at present
travelling in Europe. The President OF the
United States, after some months OF mcuba-
ton, delivers a stump speech on the tarill, in
place Of the annual message which his oihciai
duty requires Twenty four hours after It's
publication in this country there comes from
Mr.. Blaine in Europe reply so thoroughly
American in spirit. so keen III It's r"mPrch'h-
sion Of American interests and needs, so ac-
cuiate in facts and so crushing and complete
in ITS argument, that leading papers OF inc
party which supports Mr.. Cleveland do not
dare TO place ii before their readers. HIS
friends see that the reply will kindlc the en-
thusiasm of millions of Americans Tor the
policy Of the Republican party, and Tor the
strong leader who so swiftly and surely repre-
scnts American interests and American thought.
Mr. Clcvclands message only divides and dis
NAYS his friends. but delights the London
newspapcrs and the British manufacturers.
The fatal biundcr Of Mr.. Cleveland was IN
attempting to make the people take IT for
granted that duties for the protection OF home
industry must be removed or lowered. IN order
to diminish the revenue. The people know
better. Mr. Blaine, three thousand miles away,
tells the President that taxes on tobacco ana
on spirits used in manufacture, can be cut OIL
and the tax on whiskcy applied to the defence
Of scapoltS. and that ii Is simply incNcuSaolc
TO retain internal war taxes for no better pun
pose than to deprive home industries Of the
legitimate measure Of defence which tanh
adcoriatc to raise the needed revenue would
give. Coast defence 50 ably and cloqucniiy
urged by Mr. Tildcn. has never been fairly
cons dcrcd by Mr.. Cleveland, and may easily
be forgotten by President who values British
commentator. courts British favor and con-
sidcrs British rather than American interests.
Protection for home industries has not been
directly asSahod by any President except Mr..
Cleveland since James Buchanan went ont Of
office in disgrace 1t remains to be seen
whether President Cleveland can with safety
rely upon the influence Of importing agents
ard foreign manufacturers, even IN New OK
and Ncw-Jcrscy. to uphold him in trying to
break down the tariff which has 50 grandly
developed and now defends American industry
